History & Background (Dossier)

The xboat service emblem was taken from a history of Terra by Professor Dinimbue of the University of Sylea. The professor found records of an organization called the Pony Express, but her knowledge of old Anglic was not complete enough to equate the word pony with the Terran horse. The professor translated the word as poni, a beast of burden used on several worlds of the Sylean Federation. When the xboat service was organized, the emblem was designed, even though by then the professor’s mistake had been discovered.

Travellers' Aid Society Advisory

The Travellers' Aid Society (TAS) classifies the Poni as perfectly safe to most sophonts and advises no particular caution when in the presence of this organism.

  • Larger carnivorous sophonts are advised caution around this lifeform as their pheromonal signatures may spook this animal.
